This started as a practice painting which turned out beautifully well. I think I have done a wonderful job in capturing the serenity of the mountains and the evergreen trees around. The icy cold stream flowing melodiously  makes me want to dip my hands in it. Its a beautiful piece which makes the eye wander into the beauty of it. Nature is healing and I feel this painting too has the qualities to heal and soothe the soul. May it always bring up a smile in you.
